Like the comment below the article says, that line about turning off recurs=
ive DNS is pretty lame. Tantamount to saying "if you don't want me coming i=
n your house you shouldn't have used wooden doors n00b!". It's still breaki=
ng and entering.

Call me crazy but I tend to think every service has a Backdoor these days. =
It's not surprising to see one for a Ddos service.

In other news, the sky is still blue.

Thanks for sharing the article though! Was a fun read.

Cheers,
Joshua
